CQDLER F02. INTERNAL-COMBUSTION-ENGINE RADIATORS.

Application filed May 25, 1918.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that l. SAMK EL BARUGH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city. borough of Manhattan, in

the county of New York and State of New Y have invented a new and Improved for lntcrnal (oxulmstion Engine ator.

Additional ob ects of the invention \Vlll appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of my invention is described.

1n the drawings snnilar reference charactcrs refer to similar parts in all the views,

in which- Figure 1 is a sectional fragmentary view illustrating the construction of my invention and the manner in which it is secured to a radiator, and

Fig. 2 is a perspective of the bracket hav ing the bearingthrough which is disposed the spindle of the water level indicator.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the radiator 5 is of the usual construction with a cap 6 in which there is made an opening 7. The depending neck 8 on adrum 9 has a shoulder 10 which rests against the top of the cap 6, the terminal 11 of the depending neck 0 which is of less diameter than the body of the neck being disposed through the og'iening' 7, and having an outer thread 12. Disposed against the bottom of the cap *3, there a bracket 13 having an open 14: throu h which the terminal 11 of th spending," eck 8 is disposed, a washer be ng disposed against the bracket 13. v A nut 18 employed which meshes with the thread on the terminal 11 of the neck which serves to hold he drum 9 and the bracket 13 in position.

The neck 8 depends from around an open ing 17 in the head 18, the head 18 having a seat 19 at the said opening. Disposed in the druint there is a perforated tube 20, the

lower end 31 oil which seated in the seat 20 is seated in a sea i, i a head 2 1 which is The up per end oi? the perforated tube rcmovably secured to be top of the drum 9 It will be understood by referring tothe Specification of Letters Patent.

drawings that steam from the radiator will pass up the tube 20 into the drum 9 where it will be condensed because of the cooling; effect of the air against the drum ah the automobile on which the radiator?) is mount ed is driven along the ground. It will also be understood that this coolingeffect will be increased because ofthe air which will flow up the radiator overflow pipe 26 to and through the tube 8. The vapor and the air from the radiator overflow pipe 26 will pass out through the perforations in the tube 20 to th drum 9. When the vapor is condensec the fluid will flow through the lower PBIfOI'flblOIlS in the tube 20 back to the radiator 5. In the cap 24 there are openingsQT to pe mit the escape of any steam.

i the cap 24 there is an opening 28 through which is disposed a spindle 29, The said spindle exteni'ling down through the neck 8 and through a bearing 30 in the bracket 13. At the lower end of this spindle 29 there is secured a float 31 which is disposed in the Water in the radiator as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, this float 31 serving to hold the spindle 29 upwardly with its stop 32 abutting against the bracket 13 at the bearing 30. However, when the Water in the radiator 5 is below a predetermined level, the spindle 29 will move downwardly so that the ball 33 at the top of the spindle, which is disposed beyond the cap 24, will rest against the said cap and indicate to the driver of the car that the radiator should be refilled.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a cooler for internal combustion engine radiators, a drum with a thread at its sides and adjacent its top and a head at its bottom provided with an opening, a tube disposed in the drinn spaced from the sides of the latter and having its bottom disposed in the opening, the tube having perforations spaced above each other in the drum, and a cup with openings for its sides, and a seat inlwllich the upper end of the tube is disposed, the cap being provided with a thread normally meshing with the thread on the drum. 1

2. In a cooler for internal combustion engine radiators, a drum having a. head at its
